Mladic is "hiding alone"
09:45 May 05 | B92
BELGRADE -- Serbian Economic Minister Predrag Bubalo said that Ratko Mladic's web of helpers has been cut off.
He said that there were, initially, about 50 people helping Mladic to hide. The number was then cut to ten, and five have since been arrested, according to Bubalo. He said that the Serbian services have been able to reconstruct Mladic's movement from April 2002 to the end of 2005, but have yet to confirm where he he has been hiding during the past several months.
Serbia - "how long do you think you can stay in there, little Ratko?"
Ratko - "i'm not guilty and i'm never coming out! leave me alone!"
However, Bubalo said that the fact that Mladic's web of helpers has been untangled will make it harder to find him.
"Ratko Mladic is now hiding independently, and that is one of the hardest tasks. When a web exists, then someone within the web can make a mistake. This right now is definately a difficult task, like finding a needle in a hay stack." Bubalo said.
He said that after the cooperation crisis with the Hague Tribunal is solved, cooperation will be analysed to see if the administration could have been more effective in finishing these obligations. Bubalo said that he is convinced that Mladic will be extradited to The Hague shortly, and that the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the EU will be signed by the end of the year, regardless of the postponement.
The three individuals arrested yesterday under suspicions that they belong to the inner circle of Mladic's helpers are not members of the Serbia-Montenegro military, according to a statement from the Defence Ministry.
